My experience with dialing to a Novell 2.15 has been through 
Carbon Copy v4.5 (I think). It works well, and I guess that
with 9600 Modems it may do wonders (I'm in process of getting the
modems now... we still use 2400). 

But there is a problem: I cannot run Lotus 123 v3.1, risking losing my
remote hard-disk. In fact, I did it once, and it was so painfull, that
I won't try it anymore. 

The questions then are: WILL PCANYWHERE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ? WHAT ABOUT 
A NEW VERSION OF CC ? WILL SOME PRODUCT TAKE WINDOWS 3.0 ? WHAT ABOUT QEMM
INTERFERENCE ? Wl, answers to these should settle the issue.

BTW, nothing against the services that CC can provide. I have it running on
a 286 machine, 24 hours a day, for already 2.5 years. Rarely I had to call
someone to have the machine rebooted. Well, that was mostly due to 
call-waiting (disabled now), and before I had it set to reboot 
after disconnect. Works great, but we are growing...
